If you own a seasonal home in Bonita Springs, FL, our home watch service keeps a careful eye on it while you're up North or overseas. Sunstate Home Watch makes scheduled inspections of your vacant home, documents everything with timestamped photos, and — if something is wrong — a real person calls you. No automated alerts, no guesswork. Just calm, professional peace of mind from the moment you lock the door behind you.
Bonita Springs sits right on the Gulf, between Estero and Naples, and that beautiful location is exactly what makes an empty home here vulnerable. From the canal and waterfront homes near Bonita Beach and Hickory Boulevard, to the golf and lake communities inland — Pelican Landing, Bonita Bay, The Brooks, Spanish Wells, Worthington, Vasari, Palmira — a closed-up house in our heat and humidity can develop serious problems in days, not months. We watch it so you don't have to worry from a thousand miles away.
First inspection is free. See exactly what your report looks like before you commit to anything. Plans start at $99/month.
Southwest Florida is one of the most demanding climates in the country for an unoccupied home. Bonita Springs gets the heat, the humidity, the storms, and — for waterfront and Gulf-side properties — the salt air and surge exposure on top of it all.
With the A/C dialed back or off, indoor humidity climbs fast. Mold can bloom on drywall, cabinetry and furniture within a week or two. In Florida, mold remediation routinely runs $2,000 to $10,000 or more.
A failed water-heater, a slow supply-line drip, a backed-up A/C condensate line or a roof leak after a storm can flood a vacant home unnoticed. Water-damage restoration averages around $3,800 — and far more if it sits for weeks.
Bonita Springs knows what tropical systems can do. Waterfront and beach-area homes near Bonita Beach, Little Hickory and the canals face wind, rain intrusion and surge. Early eyes after a storm mean problems get caught while they're still small.
And it isn't only the structure. Pests find their way in, a tripped breaker spoils a freezer, a pool turns green, an irrigation line bursts. None of it announces itself. That's what regular, documented inspections are for.
We're a premium, hands-on home watch service built specifically for seasonal and second-home owners in Bonita Springs and across Southwest Florida. Here's how it works:
We're licensed, bonded and insured, and we work in English, Spanish and Swedish — many of our owners come from the Midwest, the Northeast, Canada and Scandinavia. See our full home watch service or review the Florida vacant-home checklist we use as a starting point.
This is the part many homeowners learn the hard way. Most insurance policies treat a vacant home very differently. After roughly 30 to 60 days of vacancy, insurers can limit or even void coverage. And when damage is from a slow leak or creeping humidity, carriers often deny the claim as "gradual" damage or "neglect" — unless you can prove the home was being checked.
Our timestamped, photo-documented reports create exactly that proof: a clear, dated record that your Bonita Springs home was inspected regularly and that any issue was caught and addressed promptly. That record can be the difference between a paid claim and a denied one.
In other words, home watch isn't a cost — it's protection for both the house and the policy that's supposed to cover it.
We know Bonita Springs — Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, The Brooks, Spanish Wells and the beach and canal neighborhoods. Same trusted team, same schedule, every visit.
No upselling, no scare tactics. Just a steady, professional service designed so you can enjoy your time away without a nagging "did I leave the water on?" in the back of your mind.
Every inspection lands in your dashboard with photos and a clear summary. You always know the state of your home, whether you're in Minnesota, Toronto or Stockholm.
Before your season starts we arrange secure access — a key, a lockbox or a gate/garage code, whatever you prefer. Access details are kept confidential and we're bonded and insured for your protection. Many owners simply leave a lockbox so there's never a key handed around.
You get a phone call from a real person — usually our founder Torbjörn — not just an email. We explain what we found, send photos, and if you'd like, we coordinate trusted local repairs and oversee the work so a small issue doesn't become a large one.
All of them. We cover gated golf and lake communities like Bonita Bay, Pelican Landing, The Brooks, Spanish Wells, Worthington, Palmira and Vasari, as well as the waterfront, canal and beach-area homes near Bonita Beach, Hickory Boulevard and Little Hickory. We also serve Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Estero, Naples and Marco Island.
Our standard service is a thorough weekly inspection. Weekly is the right cadence for Florida's climate — it's frequent enough to catch a leak, a mold issue or a failed A/C before it turns into thousands of dollars of damage.
Plans start at $99 per month, and yes — your first inspection is genuinely free, with a full photo report, so you can see the value before committing.
